Out now: No evidence that SSRI treatment for adolescent depression reduces future risk of psychosis. This goes against the belief that typical treatments for common mental disorders will reduce the risk of psychosis. 💊🧠

New research shows >50% of specialist adult mental health service use comes from former #CAMHS patients
We need early intervention in childhood to change these poor long-term outcomes
That's why we need much more research on mental illness prevention in #CAMHS
